Description:
temperatures. The scanners were initially deployed for a supersonic model test and a Skin Friction Test. The pressure scanners were housed near a scale model of a supersonic aircraft inlet within 10 ft (3.05 m) of the static and total pressure taps to reduce pressure

Description:
ESDU 70012 presents data for the lift-curve slope and aerodynamic centre position for wings with straight leading- and trailing-edges and streamwise tips in supersonic flow. The data were derived from linearised theory and are presented in carpet form for ßA up to 12

Description:
Item No. 05015 presents a semi-empirical prediction method for normal force and pitching moment of forebody-cylinder combinations of elliptic cross-section at supersonic speeds. Because the data available for bodies with elliptical sections are relatively limited both in number and scope, the

Description:
ESDU 79022 gives graphs for the base drag on axisymmetric bodies with at least three diameters of constant diameter section upstream of the boat-tail, at zero incidence, with a turbulent boundary layer and no jet efflux. The graphs were obtained by a correlation of experimental test data

Description:
simple theoretical model modified with an empirical factor to fit wind-tunnel data and was derived for cruciform or planar fins mounted with trailing-edges flush with the base or upstream of the base. It may be applied to up to six equally-spaced fins. The fins tested were of circular-arc or

Description:
Simulating Rain Impact Damage to Supersonic Missile Radomes Volume 5, Issue 2 (March 1977) A test simulating the rain impact damage to two ceramic missile radomes traveling at supersonic speeds is described. A water-jet gun has been developed which fires a short burst of water

Description:
Specifies laboratory conditions for testing the ability of equipment for subsonic and supersonic civil aircraft to withstand vibration. Two types of tests are specified: tests for the functioning of the equipment and tests for its acoustic endurance. The necessity

Description:
ignition hazard in the quick disconnects (QDs) in the environmental control and life support system (ECLSS) on the International Space Station (ISS). Testing included standard supersonic and subsonic particle impact tests on 15 - 5 PH stainless steel, as well as tests

Description:
supersonic (Test Series 6) tests were performed with no ignition of the aluminum targets. Based on the resulting test data and analysis, WSTF found no increased particle impact hazard was present in the ACES equipment.

Description:
test types in the 16-ft transonic tunnel and the 16-ft supersonic tunnel. This paper presents this new capability and documents the results of validation efforts and effects on test productivity.

Description:
supersonic inlet, real-time data visualization and display, low-speed compressor testing, and a parallel-processing simulation code interface for multistage turbomachinergy. A detailed data model for the compressor application is included in the appendix.

Description:
the QF-16 Full Scale Aerial Target on Sept. 23, 2013, at Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla. The QF-16 mission profile included auto takeoff, a series of simulated maneuvers, supersonic flight and an auto land all without a pilot in the cockpit. Testing on the six aircraft continues at

Description:
The F/A-18 Super Hornet is a twin-engine, supersonic, all weather multirole fighter jet that is capable of landing and taking off from an aircraft carrier. Every Super Hornet has been delivered on cost and on schedule. Boeing offers a suite of upgrades to the F/A-18 Super Hornet

In 2020, NASA is preparing to test a Supersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator (SIAD) that may be capable of landing larger aircraft on Mars. The SIAD-E is inflated by a combination of gas generators and ram air inlets, allowing it to fully deploy in less than 2 seconds in conditions up to Mach

. If successful, the 12-ft-long, air-breathing vehicle will use a supersonic ramjet (scramjet) engine to reach Mach 7 and become the world's fastest man-made aircraft. The previous record holder, the X-15, reached Mach 6.7. The X-43 will be attached to a booster rocket from Orbital Sciences Corp., Dulles, Tex
